There was the Washington Consensus, which is a theory of how to reorganize the world economy, privatization, competitiveness, and so on. And global capitalists started to invest into Russia, and they had a feeling that now they find the key how to integrate the Russian economy and the huge, vast Russian territories and raw materials, energy supply territories into the world economy.

That was the 90s. And they did it. They made a huge amount of money. George Soros, who I always would focus to follow anyway to understand what's going on, did it. But the Russians were not satisfied with that at all. And then there was a change. President Putin came to power and said, guys, this integration to the world economy, not the way which is serving the interest of Russia.

And they cut many things. And many Americans and European investors have to realize some losses. And I think the idea that they were so close to get it, to get the major source of the profit, and it was stopped by the same man, there is a personal revenge element in their way of thinking. I'm sure of that. Sorry, that's too much probably to say about it.

The Russians had their own concept how they would like to be integrated into the world economy. And that concept was different from the American concept and from the European concept, of course. Hungary is part of that. So when we realized what is the new strategy of the Russians, the Hungarian companies went to Russia to make their business.

I'm sure that from the Emirates they are doing their businesses as well, and the Saudis and others. So they would not like to be isolated. They would be part of the world economy based on the Russian interest, not on the Washington consensus principles or something like that, you know? But it's their country. Whether we like it or not, whether we agree or not, it's their country.

They make their choice. If it's their decision, we have to adjust ourselves, not to force them to change their mind. It's not our job. At least this is the Hungarian approach. Probably not the American, but definitely the Central European. They are too close. Don't forget they're too close.

First of all, even if I have many critical remarks, it does not matter if you take the proper vantage point to see what has happened in Ukraine in the last years. They decided to go into a war. to defend their own territory, their own right to join NATO and to be part of the Western architecture, security and economic architecture. That was their decision. And they fight for it.
